At 1 million sq. ft., the Center for Life Science/Boston is the city’s largest research center. The 18story building has six levels of below-grade parking. This LEED Gold certified building was constructed using the up/down construction method. Berry also simultaneously completed four tenant fitouts in the building during core and shell construction.
The Berry Fund started simply as a bake sale years ago. Some $1.5 million later, and at least one life — if not more — saved, the Berry Fund — the charitable arm of one of New England’s oldest and most prestigious contractors — is so much more than the dollars donated to individuals, families and charities. The Fund is about support and hope. And in one case, it was literally about saving a little girl. In April 2010, Tim Jozokos, husband of Berry project executive Sharon Jozokos, received a phone call that represented the closing chapter of an oddsdefying story that began with the Berry Fund seven years ago. The call came from a 12-year-old girl from Moorestown, N.J., who got a second shot at life, thanks to a bone marrow donation Jozokos had made. This story has its roots in a bone marrow blood drive co-sponsored by the Berry Fund in 2003 for a long-time Berry employee whose battle with large cell lymphoma was the impetus for the search for a bone marrow donor. Unfortunately, the employee passed away in 2004, but the Berry Fund donor drive still had a positive outcome in a very big way. Rare Possibility “The probability of finding a nonfamily match is pretty rare,” said Jozokos. “That you’d be matched with a perfect stranger is even more of a long shot.” At the time of the blood drive, Tim had opted to have the results sent to the national bone marrow registry. Five years passed, and in December 2008, Jozokos got a call saying he was
a match for a patient with leukemia. Would he be willing to take the next step and come into Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston for some tests? He agreed without hesitation. The tests included detailed medical screening and several blood drawings for secondary typing. Lab personnel told him at that time there was a one in 12 chance that he would be an exact match. A few weeks later, that improbability became a certainty. Jozokos was a perfect match for the patient. Patient privacy rules allowed him only to know that the patient was a young girl.
